Version: 0.0.4
Last Updated: 2008-12-13
Requires bbPress Version: 0.9 or higher
Compatible up to: 0.9
Allows users to pick their own password during registration and log in immediately without checking email. No template edits required.
When using this, it is highly recommended to also use the Human Test plugin to prevent instant spambot registration.
i'll try this.. Thanks a lot CK! :D
bug : can't login if you in registration page
indojepang, can you clarify?
Do you mean the mini-login form in the corner is not present on register.php ? That is by design in the Kakumei template.
Prior to 0.0.3, there is a bug in bbPress 0.9 where the user_status would not be set to 0 after instant registration. bbPress typically sets that after a user logs in for the first time, it's default is 1 when they first register and the password is sent to them.
It will still let users log in but it may after them in strange ways since bbPress will think their account has not been activated Anyone who has been using this since 0.0.1 may want to check their bb_users or wp_users table for the newest users and make sure their user_status is set to 0.
bbPress has a typo (campact vs compact) in 0.9 in upgrade_user_status which has been fixed in the trunk.
This was my #1 feature request, so I posted a request to the forums. _ck_ posted a plugin to the forums - it worked right away, and didn't require any template tweaks. Fantastic :-).
What a relief this plugin has been. Before I installed this, we would get daily emails saying, "I never got my password emailed to me!" Now we never do, which is a huge relief. We still get emails about password resets not going through on email, but that's a problem with our email servers... not this plugin.
I'm excited for the "javascript checks of password for strength" feature that was mentioned as a potential future feature! But I figure it's better that a weak password that they can use, is better than a super strong password that they can't. The JavaScript check sounds like the perfect compromise.
Thanks for a great plugin :-).
While the strength meter isn't there yet (I didn't want to just drop in the jquery solution since it adds like 100k of javascript) I do check if their username is in the password and warn/prevent them from doing that.
_ck_,
I just tried to install this on the latest unstable release and get a 'password is too short' message.
I officially do not support anything past 1.0 alpha 5 at this point.
I am sure Sam has broken things that will make it incompatible.
Either downgrade or don't use the plugin.
Thanks
I activated the plugin, but it kept saying 'Password is too short' even when it was over 6 characters.
I removed that line of IF code from the plugin, then I got an error that 'Your password contains the username' or something like that when it was not.
So, I have deactivated the plugin for now :(
Again, none of my plugins are designed to work past bbPress 1.0 alpha 5
Sam has changed too many things and I don't have the time to keep up.
Seems to be working fine so far for me. Thanks again _ck_.
After I have updated the password at 'user_pass' with new one and changed user status using 1 at 'user_status' in table 'bb_users'.
When I user new password, I still can't login that show me "incorrect password".
Thanks __ck__. One bug I encountered is this:
* when entering an invalid email, like "john.doe@example", we don't get to see the appropriate error message
Sidenote... I'm using this plugin with "Approve User Registration". I had to comment out lines 51,52 of instant_password.php so the user doesn't get auto-login:
//wp_set_auth_cookie( (int) $user_id, 0 );
//do_action('bb_user_login', (int) $user_id );In "Approve User Registration", make sure the "Send password with" setting is set to "Registration Mail". Setting it to "Approval Mail" will overwrite the password created by instant_password.
ivanbueno thanks for that report - not sure how I can fix it but I'll think about it
note that I posted a slightly improved and bug fixed version of approve user registration
i downloaded this plugin, but when i went to activate it, i got this error.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_get_location() in /home/content/j/a/c/"user name"/html/wp-content/plugins/instant-password/instant-password.php on line 15
i really need an app like this, why am i getting this error, and what can i do to fix it?
jack why are you trying to install a bbPress plugin into WordPress ?
Thank you very very much!
Hi I have tested this for 1.0-rc-2 and when I enter password it complains "Your password is too short" that is the only error I found, I cant continue past this since it will not accept password, saying its less then 6 characters when its atleast 8 or more :) If this is check you do with javascript perhaps you could provide quick solotion, it may not have to do much with bbpress it self? Can you take a look into it?
